St. Pete developer seeks retailers for $80 million Edge District project

Developers of the Orange Station project in St. Petersburg have begun working to lure retailers to the development as the start of construction nears on the site of the city’s former police headquarters.

The retail portion of the $80 million 16-story project will include six spaces ranging in size from 1,100 square feet to nearly 4,000 square feet. Jay Miller, of J Square Developers, says the company is ready to “begin discussions with dynamic retailers and restaurateurs that want to bring their unique brand” to the project.

The search begins as the condominium portion of the project has sold 30% of its units, including two of three penthouses, since sales began earlier this year. The developer says “these are firm contracts, not reservations.”
